SwedishLuthier Posted August 26, 2005 Report Posted August 26, 2005 I always use steel threaded inserts, which has an inner machine-type thread, and an outer wood-type thread. It will give you an enormously stable fastening. I also use Torx screws for maximum holding power. With this system you can turn the Torx handle until your knuckles turn with without any risk of the wood being chewed upp by the screw. Quote
